Instead of concentrating on censorship, it redirects artificial intelligence (AI) cybersecurity efforts to finding and fixing vulnerabilities.
The Order outlines technical steps to implement cybersecurity policy, such as formal trust designations for the “Internet of Things” and machine-readable policy standards, so that Americans can be sure their home and personal devices adhere to fundamental security engineering principles.
By restricting the use of cyber sanctions to malevolent foreign actors, it avoids abuse against domestic political rivals and makes it clear that actions connected to elections are exempt from the penalties.
